Improve seated motor cognitive function

Trial ID
NCT06730074
Official Title
A Novel Robotic System for Motor-cognitive Exercise for Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Goal
Improve seated motor cognitive function
Phase
NA
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
Adi Negev-Nahalat Eran
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
15 participants
Conditions
Parkinson Disease, Idiopathic
Interventions
Using a gamified rehabilitation system in a sitting position involving robots and music for the benefit of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD)

Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to see if a seated, robot-assisted, gamified exercise program with music can improve motor control and cognitive-motor skills that often worsen in Parkinson's, like hand coordination, timing, and dual-tasking. Participants will use robotic devices that guide and resist upper-limb movements while music and game feedback provide rhythm and attention cues, with precise sensors to retrain movement patterns and keep people motivated; it is a non-drug rehabilitation tool meant to complement medications like levodopa rather than replace them. The study is looking for Hebrew-speaking adults aged 50 to 75 with idiopathic Parkinson's at Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or below, a MoCA score of 23 or higher, and no major upper-limb orthopedic issues or uncorrected vision or hearing problems.
